Title: Improvements in Self Leveling Clocks.
Inventor: PIXLER JOHN ALBERT
IPC: G04B18/04
Filed: 1917-02-08
Abstract: 113,299. Pixler, J. A. Feb. 8, 1917. Clock framework; pendulums.-For the purpose of correcting defects of levelling, the escape wheel 12 and anchor 11 are mounted in a rocking yoke 10 which is coaxial with the arbor of the immediate driving-wheel 20, and the position of the yoke relative to the main frame 17, 18 is determined by a weight attached by a stem 15. The action of the weight may be made direct or indirect by means of the following construction. The axis pin 16 is carried by the frame plate 18 and a bracket 19 thereon, and the weight and yoke are mounted on this pin by means of sleeves 22 and 25 with clamping screws. The yoke extends downwards as a toothed sector 31, and in the lower part of the frame is provided an arbor 33 which carries an intergearing sector 32 and a finger 34 to be connected with the weight-rod 15. If the action is to be direct, the sleeves of the yoke and weight rod are clamped to the axis pin 16 and no connection is made between the latter and the finger of the lower arbor 33. But if the action is to be indirect, the sleeves are set free and a collar 37 on the weight rod, which carries a crank-pin 36 with tubular eye 35, is brought up to engage the eye with the finger. The axis-pin is prevented from shifting by a collar 27 between the plate and bracket. The suspension post 39 of the pendulum-rod 13 is attached to the yoke somewhat above the axis.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fluid transmission devices for remotely placed recording or indicating instruments
IPC: G01D5/42
Filed: 1943-02-08
Abstract: 566,659. Fluid - pressure apparatus. K.D.G. INSTRUMENTS, Ltd., and EVERINGTON, G. D. Feb. 8, 1943, No. 2101. [Classes 106 (ii) and 106 (iii)] [Also in Group XXIX] A fluid transmission for an indicating or recording instrument includes a fluid pressure relay with two valves communicating with two sources of pressure of different values and a responsive element for operating the valves so arranged that the effective movement of the valves is smaller than that of the responsive element. As shown for use in an oil-pressure system, Fig. 1, a resilient diaphragm 10 clamped in a casing 11 communicates on one side with a conduit 17 in the pipe-line and on the other side with a control chamber 19 of a valve casing 13. The chamber 19 is in direct communication with a conduit 20 (not shown) leading to the indicating or recording apparatus and is formed with passages 22, 23 with seatings for valves 27, 36. The valve 27 is controlled by a spring bearing on a hollow plug 29 connected through a conduit 32 to a source of compressed air. The valve 36 is controlled by a spring in a passage communicating with the atmosphere or a source of suction through a port 44. The valves have stems 33, 39 to cooperate with tappets 40, 41 adjustably mounted on a spindle 42 attached to the diaphragm 10. In neutral position, both valves are maintained closed by their springs. By a movement of the diaphragm in one or other direction, the spindle 42 tilts one or other of the valves to admit or withdraw air from the control chamber to rectify the out-of-balance condition. The apparatus described may have other applications. For example, it may be used to indicate the angular position of flaps or other control surfaces on aircraft ; to indicate temperature by utilising a flexible capsule communicating with a thermometer bulb ; to indicate speed. The application to a speed indicator is shown in Fig. 4, wherein the axial movement of a sleeve 76, under the centrifugal action of weights driven by an operating cable, imparts pivotal movement to an arm 78 connected by a compression spring 79 to the upper end of a bellows 80 arranged in a control chamber with valves operating as described with reference to Fig. 1. In any of the abovedescribed arrangements, the pressure to be indicated or recorded may be stepped down by means similar to that described in Specification. 556,268.

Title: Method of treating and refining petroleum
IPC: C10G29/24
Filed: 1927-01-28
Abstract: 289,920. Nastukoff, A. M. Jan. 28, 1927. Mineral and tar oils, purifying.-Petroleum oils are refined to produce lubricating oils by treating with formaldehyde in presence of strong sulphuric acid to form a hardened condensation product, heating, diluting with water, and treating with steam to remove light volatile hydrocarbons, filtering, neutralizing and washing the hardened product, and extracting the adsorbed saturated heavy hydrocarbons therefrom by cold solvents. Or illuminating oils are obtained by subjecting the filtered condensation product at atmospheric pressure to a temperature, e.g. 350‹ C., sufficient to crack the adsorbed saturated oil without decomposing the condensation product itself. Or transformer oils may be freed from the unsaturated hydrocarbons forming the solid condensation product and from olefinic hydrocarbons forming liquid condensation products of high boiling point with the formaldehyde by filtering the oil to remove the harrdened condensation product and redistilling to separate from the liquid products. The solid condensation product has high dielectric properties. It may be compressed to form hard insulating articles, mixed with mineral oil or pitch and then cast, or as powder added to the insulating materials sold under the registered Trade blarks Bakelite " and " Carbolite." In an example 1 litre of crude oil is mixed with 4 litres of 1.86 sulphuric acid, and 2 litres of a 40 per cent solution of formaldehyde are added gradually with vigorous shading. The mixture is heated for an hour at 100‹ C., any light hydrocarbons evolved being collected. The solid condensation product is diluted with water, and treated with steam at atmospheric or slightly higher pressure for an hour or more to remove all light saturated hydrocarbons, filtered, washed, neutralized, and dried at 100-105‹ C. The adsorbed hydrocarbons, including solid paraffin, are then extracted by cold benzene or petroleum ether; tarry, asphaltic, and sulphur bodies remain.
